New YoRK, Feb. 23.-EverythinR bold

trated In some goods recently brought
out. Great blocks Of long pile wavy
plush, set among stripes of equally pro-
nounced fabric, very broad stripes rum
ming down the goods and varied perhapa
by small squares set within them on huge
checks formed by transverse bars; these
and kindred patterns are sometimes shown
forth in alterations of color 80 brilliant

white cashmere that composes the waist

however, a certain something in stripes
and bars which prohibit them usually
from full dress, strictly speaking, and
these very striking costumes therefore are
worn for afternoons, lunches, &C., rather
than for a set ball. They are essentially

THE HAIR.
The decline of frizzes in the arrange
ment of the hair may be the prelude TO =
fall. Certainly they no longer fall as
they once did, and every day the brow

then, however, some fashionable lady
wears her hair low and it proves an agree
able variety. Fancy pins and jewelsd
ornaments are still much worn.
JEwELRY.
Low necks being in high favor, the
lower, the higher perhaps still,
demand for special class of
jewels. Dressy, or more strictly
speaking, partially undressed women
atone for corsage deficiencies by rows of
pearls or diamonds. Necklaces of these
special kinds are in great request, one
large diamond being the favorite clasp
for pearl necklace. Twisted strings Of
seed pearls are thus kept together, or the
solitaire giitters as the connecting link
where row or more Of large pearls are
placed successfully. Variety is afforded
by the most elegant pendants Imaginable.

buy this gem which jewellers and connois-
seurs consider SO rare and beautiful, and
combined with diamonds, they adorn
some OF the most expensive pendants.
Lovely and peculiar enRmeled brooches
now initiate flowers in all varieties OF
color and shape, from pure white to
pronounced red or the very dark crimson
of miniature dahlia. Now and then
large diamond is placed like glittering
dew-drop in one of these flowers and with
very pretty effect. Bracelets are still
quite narrow.
The sale of long white kid gloves for
evening has not hindered the continued
wear of tan that ia occasionally In quite
dark shades, pale gray, pearl or hello

trast to the great run on heavy stitching

people will have nothing else
